Planet Before Profit
The question of Profit before Planet is not tenable anymore. It is too selfish to think of Wealth at the cost of Planet. Unfortunately, it is still not sinking in our mind @ speed at which it should except Greta Thunberg (Sweden), Adelaide Charlier (Belgium), Luisa Neubauer (Germany), Xyie Bastida (Mexico), Prof Johan Rockstrom, most influential Earth Scientist (Sweden) and David Attenborough ...

Carbon dioxide capture and storage: Priorities for development
Oil, coal and natural gas will remain the world’s dominant sources of energy over the next decades, resulting in unsustainable levels of carbon dioxide emissions. This trend can be reversed only via a near revolution in the way we produce, transform and consume energy. Concerted global action is urgently needed to increase investment in energy technology solutions. Carbon dioxide capture and ...

Carbon dioxide capture: an assessment of plausible ranges
The projections of energy related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the Special Report on Emission Scenarios (SRES) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) serve as point of departure for an assessment of plausible ranges of CO2 emissions that could be avoided through CO2 capture and storage measures. Scenario and time dependent, sector and fuel specific capture factors are ...

Feasibility of using ionic liquids for carbon dioxide capture
Ionic liquids (ILs) are organic salts that are liquids in their pure state at ambient conditions. They are frequently referred to as "environmentally benign" due to their immeasurably low vapour pressure. In addition to their more widely studied capabilities as solvents for reactions, several ionic liquids also show potential in other environmentally conscious applications, such as in the capture ...

The purpose of the Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage (CCS) Guidelines is not to make a case for or against CCS, but rather to develop practical considerations for demonstrating and deploying CCS technologies.
CCS is a broad term that encompasses a number of technologies that can be used to capture CO2 from point sources, such as power plants and other industrial facilities; compress it; transport it mainly by pipeline to suitable locations; and inject it into deep subsurface geological formations for indefinite isolation from the atmosphere. CCS is a critical option in the portfolio of ...

Microalgae as CO2 capture machines
Microalgae are perfect photosynthetic machines – Just like trees in their photosynthesis process, microalgae produce about 50% of the oxygen we need to breathe and the planet needs to live. Buggypower incorporates CO2 capture and full treatment of Greenhouse Gases (GHG), capturing CO2 directly from emitting sources and proceeding to its fixation and sink through cultivation of microalgae, ...

Crediting co2 sequestration – An alternative approach to integrating CCS into the EU ETS
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technologies are currently discussed as a promising measure by stakeholders in the power industry sector, who see it as an opportunity to both continue using fossil fuels and to comply with the challenges of climate protection by reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Initial demonstration projects have already been launched.1 According to the European Commission, it ...

Modelling and simulation of reaction kinetics of carbon dioxide absorption into aqueous ammonia in a wetted wall column
Carbon dioxide accounts for about 80% of all greenhouse gases (GHG) and thus becomes the major source responsible for global warming which is considered as the greatest environmental challenge the world is facing. The post–combustion capture is the main way to lower the emission of existing power plants and future power plants where CO2 is produced during the combustion. Solvent–based ...

Green capitalism: negative carbon and the green power fund
This paper discusses the challenges and opportunities created for the world by the Kyoto protocol and the creation based on international law of a global market for carbon emissions trading, in particular, the significance of the clean development mechanism (CDM). The projects funded by CDM and paid for from the carbon market's funds have already achieved a real impact, they have decreased carbon ...

Combined cycles for CO2-capture with high efficiency
The presented paper gives an overview on combined cycles for CO2-capture with high efficiency focussed on processes using a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC), because of the air separating ability of the SOFC-membrane. The SOFC-membrane is only permeable for oxygen ions, so the cathode exhaust gas is oxygen depleted air, which should be discharged to the atmosphere after recycling or using the heat ...

Carbon Capture & Storage: CO2 Capture
F7.1 | DOE and NETL’s Carbon Capture R&D Program Timothy Fout | Project Manager, US DOE/ NETL With pending legislation or EPA action on greenhouse gas emissions, there is a concerted effort underway to find ways to meet possible future limits in a cost effective manner. The DOE, through its Existing Plants Program, is targeting existing pulverized coal (PC) power plants since ...

Carbon capture is a mirage for poor nations
The world is witnessing a coal renaissance. While public attention remains focused on the progress of the clean energy sector, a ‘black revolution’ of coal power stations is taking shape in the developing world, in particular in Asia, according to Ottmar Edenhofer, the chief economist at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany. At the Our Common Future under ...

The Chemical Route to a Carbon Dioxide Neutral World
Excessive CO2 emissions in the atmosphere from anthropogenic activity can be divided into point sources and diffuse sources. The capture of CO2 from flue gases of large industrial installations and its conversion into fuels and chemicals with fast catalytic processes seems technically possible. Some emerging technologies are already being demonstrated on an industrial scale. Others are still ...

Carbon Capture and Storage From Fossil Fuels and Biomass – Costs and Potential Role in Stabilizing the Atmosphere
Abstract The capture and storage of CO2 from combustion of fossil fuels is gaining attraction as a means to deal with climate change. CO2 emissions from biomass conversion processes can also be captured. If that is done, biomass energy with CO2 capture and storage (BECS) would become a technology that removes CO2 from the atmosphere and at the same time deliver CO2-neutral energy ...

Laboratory scale tests of coal-based hydrogen production with CO2 capture in the aspect of clean coal technologies
In the light of continuously increasing oil prices as well as stronger environmental regulations, an important issue becomes finding an alternative to fossil fuels. Scientists agree that hydrogen seems to be an ideal, price-competitive and environment-friendly future energy carrier. One of the most effective methods of hydrogen production is the process of steam gasification of coal to ...

Air pollution impacts from carbon capture and storage (CCS)
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) consists of the capture of carbon dioxide (CO2) from power plants and/or CO2-intensive industries such as refineries, cement, iron and steel, its subsequent transport to a storage site, and finally its injection into a suitable underground geological formation for the purposes of permanent storage. It is considered to be one of the medium term 'bridging ...
